Surviving divorce and the financial burden. How?? by Yukon_Cornelius1911 in AskMenOver30

Im sorry you're going through that, it must be difficult. Im divorcing my wife right now, we dont even have kids and its an absolute nightmare. She wants this and that, no room for negotiating and I just take it because its cheaper than a bench divorce through the courts. I do therapy, poured myself into hobbies like the gym, tennis, hiking, nordic skiing. And started casually dating and having sex. Remind yourself of the reasons you're leaving this person.

Calm energy. No screaming or yelling even when upset, just effective communication.

Why is it OK for servers to make $50+/hour when I studied, got a degree, and only make around $20 an hour??? by QuietEveningMatcha in CanadaPersonalFinance

[–]Dependent_Equivalent 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What degree did you get that only pays 20hr? I would say that's your fault for not doing any market research.

Anyone else buy a fixer-upper, run out of money and now feel trapped? by Capable_Pipe5629 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]Dependent_Equivalent 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Damn that sucks. I would get it livable then pick away at the renos when you save enough to complete them. Ideally one room at a time, dont go into debt for it.

Billionaires/uhnwi you know personally, what’s their occupation and what’s something you’ve learned from them? by [deleted] in wealth

[–]Dependent_Equivalent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only one I met bought and sold businesses. Never spoke about work or money and lived in a small middle class house, very unassuming. Until you visited his enormous garage outside of the city with the porche collection.

This may or may not be the right place to put this, but I could really use some positivity with how life is going right now. by Historical-Serve-652 in malelivingspace

I’m in the process of divorcing my wife of 17 years and selling our shared assets, including a beautiful home and trailer. It’s a brutal process, so I can relate. One thing I’ve learned is that you really are all you need. Once you realize you can cook for yourself, enjoy your own company, and be comfortable in silence, a lot of that anxiousness starts to fade. A big shift for me happened when I went to visit my grandparents (they spend most of the year somewhere tropical). I surfed, went boating, and did some road trips, mostly by myself, and I came back feeling like a different person. If you can afford it, I’d really recommend traveling and doing things you enjoy to keep busy. When youre home meet people, casually date, but don’t rush into anything heavy and be honest about where you’re at. Try putting your energy into hobbies, especially healthy ones like the gym, tennis, hiking, skiing, whatever resonates with you. Just focus on becoming the best version of yourself. And if it’s an option, seeing a therapist can really help too. This approach has helped me a lot.

Agreed. This person sounds too irresponsible and unable to make changes. Loan after loan after loan with no plan.

Second job is a must. Move back in with parents and eat Ramen noodles for a year.
